Each sponsoring institution (e.g., a teaching hospital) may have additional eligibility requirements. The NRMP requires Match-participating programs share institutional eligibility requirements with applicants selected for interviews. U.S. MD senior students are enrolled in a medical school accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) at the time of the Match and are considered “sponsored applicants” in the Match by their medical schools. U.S. DO senior students are enrolled in a medical school accredited by the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) at the time of the Match and also are considered “sponsored applicants” in the Match by their medical schools. U.S. MD and DO
senior students’ ability to participate in the Match is based on the graduation requirements of the sponsoring medical school, and US. MD and DO senior students can be withdrawn from the Match only by the sponsoring medical school. The NRMP requires medical schools to verify the expected graduation date of every U.S. MD and DO senior registered for the Match. U.S. MD and DO seniors whose graduation credentials are not verified by their schools will be withdrawn by their schools.

For IMGs who participate in the 2023 Match, apply for and satisfy all requirements for a pathway, and have passing performances on USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK that are valid for ECFMG Certification, ECFMG will verify to the NRMP that they have met the examination requirements for ECFMG Certification. Please review the Requirements for ECFMG Clinical Skills Pathways for the 2023 Match for detailed information. IMGs who have not met the medical science examination, clinical skills, and communication skills requirements for ECFMG Certification by the Rank Order List Deadline cannot participate in the Match. View details about NRMP verification of examination requirements for IMGs. It is the responsibility of ECFMG to determine whether the applicant ultimately is granted ECFMG certification. All eligibility verification must be completed by the Rank Order List Certification Deadline in order for an independent applicant to participate in the Main Residency Match and SOAP. To begin training in a residency program, IMGs must have completed all ECFMG certification requirements and obtained ECFMG Certification. The ECFMG® has announced that, effective in 2024 (previously 2023), physicians applying for ECFMG Certification will be required to graduate from a medical school that has been appropriately accredited. To satisfy this requirement, the physician’s medical school must be accredited by an accrediting agency recognised by WFME. The WFME Recognition Programme is the only programme accepted by ECFMG at the current time for the recognition of medical school accrediting agencies. In the United States, international medical graduates (IMGs) comprise one-quarter of the physician workforce. Through its program of IMG certification, ECFMG assesses whether these physicians are ready to enter U.S. graduate medical education. ECFMG Certification is also one of the eligibility requirements for IMGs to take Step 3 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE®) and to obtain an unrestricted license to practice medicine in the United States.
